Dima,
Where did you put your proportioning valve?
Everything else is looking good!

Re: 1970 Chevrolet С-10 "Brigadier"
 

Thanks BigDaddyV!!
We decided that proportioning valve not needed.
In the original, it did not stand. I left the drums and brake (all 4 ).
In the future we will see

Dima,
I read somewhere about copper tubing becoming hard and brittle after a while. Have you ever heard of that? Just curious if that would become a safety problem? Nice work on the battery box.

Re: 1970 Chevrolet С-10 "Brigadier"
 

Thanks Mike!
I have not heard anything yet about brittle of the copper pipes.
In any case, a lot of my friends use copper pipes in the brake system. none had any problems

Re: 1970 Chevrolet С-10 "Brigadier"
 

I'm making some brake lines out of that Nickel Copper too. Heard good things and sounds like most of the foreign car manufacturers are using it anyway.
